Met Police seek Grenfell charges

World at One

Available for 27 days

The Metropolitan Police say a decision will be made on whether criminal charges will be brought over the Grenfell fire before next summer. We'll speak to Michael Mansfield, a lawyer who represented some of the victims, and Emma Dent-Coad the former MP for the area. Also, Lord Beamish, the chair of the Intelligence and Security Committee joins us live to explain his concerns on redactions of the Mandelson files. And, with Andy Burnham and Wes Streeting both being snapped in athletic clothing, we ask why politicians are so drawn to going on a run?
